Editing The Bloodbound (section)

==Legion Organisation==
With rapid mobilization a deciding factor in the Legion’s combat doctrine, the Bloodbound  had to be organized in a manner unhindered by rigid organization.  With that in mind, the Legion was organized into Taua - “war parties” with variable membership based on need, and individual squads that act as dedicated specialists.

'''The Taua'''
The Taua is the Legion’s equivalent of a Company, though it roughly translates to “war party.”  Taua lack permanent membership, the only constant member being the group’s Rangatira.  The Tohunga and squads are chosen depending on the needs of the mission, meaning that Taua vary greatly in size from campaign to campaign.

After the heresy, a few Taua split off into warbands, though Urehikau has remained active enough in the affairs of his Legion to hold a substantial number of marines together.

===Ranks===

'''Rangatira''' - Captain equivalent.  Veteran Tātai that have shown exceptional leadership ability and understanding of general tactics.  In the formation of Taua, the Rangatira is responsible for selecting squads and a Tohunga.  Following the heresy, Rangatira took up the role of warband leaders.

'''Tohunga''' - Chaplain/Librarian equivalent.  Psykers and spiritual leaders, Tohunga are veteran Toa Tupua selected on the basis of tactical expertise.  Tohunga dedicate themselves to understanding the facets of specific tactics.  Following the heresy, the Tohunga began to scour the warp for patronage, taking up the role of sorcerer-champions to various minor gods.

'''Toa Tātai''' - Sergeant equivalent.  Veterans selected for leadership ability.  Toa Tātai are tied to their squads indefinitely, training from establishment in tight cohesion, working to amplify their effectiveness in combat.

'''Toa''' - Tactical Marine/Scout equivalent.  Only see use in support of armored columns, in the final stages of an invasion.

'''Toa Tere''' - Assault Marine equivalent.  The most numerous designation in the Legion, the Toa Tere are the first in (in the absence of Toa Whawhati), making use of explosives to eliminate any anti-armor positions and soften infantry resistance.

'''Toa Whawhati''' - First Company/Elite equivalent.  Usually deployed in tandem with bombardment via drop pods.  Equipped with short range teleportation devices in leu of jump packs, Whawhati tear through the Warp among enemy infantry, rending enemy armor and flesh with power pouwhenuas and axes.  In the wake of the Heresy, the Whawhati swore allegiance to the minor god Heru, inviting mutations that facilitate teleportation without the need for homers.

'''Toa Mīhini''' - Mechanized division.  Includes heavy armor (artillery, transports) and anti-armor infantry (devastator equivalent).

'''Toa Tupua''' - Psykers focused on melee combat.  Often pledge themselves to servanthood of whatever entity their Tohunga serves, in hopes of being elevated to champion-sorcerers themselves.

===Legion Combat Doctrine===
'''Summary''' - A staple belief among the Bloodbound is that no opposing force can be prepared for everything.  With this in mind, Legion campaigns revolve around intensive surveillance of a target, followed by use of decisive and overwhelming force.  This tactic has proven most effective against enemies who emphasize in countering siege or attrition warfare - the Bloodbound’s preference for drop pods, short range teleportation, and jump packs means that traditional defenses are generally subverted or in some cases entirely avoided.  With assault marines disassembling any artillery establishments from the inside out, the Legion would follow up with the mass deployment of tactical marines and heavy armor to close the gap.
